Gabrielle turns to Ephiny. "Xena and I are going to find out what Deandra wanted to talk to Melosa about. I feel kind of responsible, I guess. We'll be back as soon as we can, though."

"Be careful," Ephiny tells Gabrielle.

Gabrielle grins quickly before making her way into the woods, with you following closely behind. You quickly overtake Gabrielle and begin tracking Deandra. You find her just outside Amazon lands, leaning with her back against a tree. She looks up quickly when she hears your approach, and her hands are on her knife before she identifies the source of the sound.

Gabrielle quickly steps forward. "Hi! I didn't introduce myself earlier; my name is Gabrielle, and I'm Melosa's heir. If there's something you needed from her, maybe if you tell me, I can help you with it."

Deandra gives a quirky half-smile. "Well, I was hoping to get Melosa's help."
